3. [+163] So much fuss over made up crap just to hate with

4. [+106] Okay but where's the 'flower boy rapper'

5. [+55] Man, does everyone hate Le Sserafim or something? First with the Heo Yoonjin dating rumors and now this..

6. [+41] Wow, but I couldn't tell it was photoshopped.. And perhaps this is just a sign that Le Sserafim is on track to be big, seeing as how they're getting embroiled into senseless scandals like this!!! I support you, Le Sserafim, fighting!!!!!!!

Video: Kim Chaewon's 'Weekly Moonchun' romance rumor was staged by Hybe

1. [+128] 'Shukan Bunshun' has always been known for releasing the most abhorrent rumors about celebrities and for them to build up to this just to release some article that's basically a promotional piece for Le Sserafim is so ridiculous

2. [+137] With Hybe's quick response to this viral scandal, they've basically confirmed that Yeonjoon and Yoonjin are really a couple. How embarrassing for all parties involved. 

3. [+174] For a weekly magazine that is infamous for releasing bed pictures and the nastiest dating rumors in the industry, why else would they release an entire article filled with nothing but promotional news about Le Sserafim? ㅋㅋ Hybe 100% fed them money to create a viral piece, and you'd have to be stupid and ignorant to not see through that

4. [+127] Ever since their debut, their concept has always been about "stepping on top of the haters" and getting to the top, which I thought was odd because they have a lot of female fans and barely any antis... but I guess they felt the need to make up scandals like this to drum up fake antis for their image;;

5. [+140] New money Hybe... everything they do is so painfully awkward... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+104] I'm telling you, there's 100% a spy in Hybe that is out to ruin all of their girl groups ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+98] Yeonjoon and Yoonjin must really be in love... It took Hybe 25 minutes to respond to Kim Chaewon's dating scandal but they still remain silent on Yeonjoon and Yoonjin

8. [+52] This is the kind of work I'd expect from a company that blew up based on pure luck and is still operating out of the mindset of tiny local business ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+69] Goosebumps... For all this to happen a week before their Japanese debut, out of a ghost account with 0 followers... who could've found it and reported it? 

10. [+72] This magazine is infamous for providing the nastiest scandals... so for them to just post up some fake a$$ picture and have the entire article be like "Le Sserafim is debuting next week in Japan so check them out~~" is clear paid promotion
